This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is B06-SAU50X225S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the B06-SAU50X225S in place of this model. The SAU replacement uses the same profile body, bore, stroke, force and SC-series mounting. It moves to the current CMSG / DMSG / EMSG sensor switches (the SU used CS1-B / DS1-B) and adds the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X225S
The AirTAC Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X225S is a double-acting profile-type standard cylinder with a Ø50mm bore and 225mm stroke, 1/4" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the B06-SAU50X225S, which matches its bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X225S
The AirTAC B06-SU50X225S is a discontinued double-acting profile cylinder. The B06- prefix marks it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the base SU50X225S, mechanically identical with a 50mm bore, 225mm stroke, and 982N push force at 0.5 MPa. AirTAC replaced this end-of-life unit with the SAU50X225S, a true drop-in replacement retaining the exact body profile, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting.
The SAU upgrade introduces CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensors, superseding the legacy CS1-B/DS1-B switches used on this -S magnet model, and adds the SAUF built-in valve option. The extruded aluminum profile is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 589N (60% of the 0.5 MPa push force), translating to a 50kg vertical lift with a 2:1 margin.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SU datasheet (now discontinued). The B06-SAU50X225S carries the same ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø50mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 982 N | 825 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 1374 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 200 kgf | |
The B06-SAU50X225S produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

| ×225 | Stroke length in mm. |
| -S | Optional built-in magnet for sensor position sensing. |
Legacy SU-family variants: SUD (double rod), SUJ (adjustable stroke) — each maps to its SAU equivalent (SUD→SAUD, SUJ→SAUJ). The current SAU line adds the SAUF valve-integrated option.
Where the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X225S Is Used
Cell Stacking Press
Applies the 982N push force at 0.5 MPa for precision alignment and stacking of battery cells during module assembly.
Pack Handling
Transfers battery packs along the line; the 50kg vertical lift capacity easily manages module positioning tasks.
Tab Welding Clamp
Secures battery tabs for welding with a stable 589N safe working load, ensuring consistent electrical contact.
Replacing the Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X225S with the B06-SAU50X225S
To replace the B06-SU50X225S, order the SAU50X225S. Confirm the 50mm bore, 225mm stroke, 1/4" port, M16x1.5 rod thread, and SC-series mounting. Because this has an -S magnet, note the sensor family changes from CS1-B/DS1-B to CMSG/DMSG/EMSG. If sizing neighbors, a 40mm bore yields 628N push while a 63mm bore yields 1559N at 0.5 MPa. At 225mm stroke, guide rods are recommended to prevent side-load bending. A plain cylinder drifts on air loss; use an external rod lock for held loads. The SAUF variant integrates a 4M valve if needed.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same bore / stroke → B06-SAU50X225S
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S): sensor family CS1-B → CMSG
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB)
- ✓ Need a built-in valve? → SAUF
Airtac B06-SU Battery Dedicated Standard Cylinder B06-SU50X225S FAQ
Yes, the B06-SU50X225S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAU50X225S. The B06- prefix simply designates it as a battery-manufacturing dedicated variant of the SU50X225S. The SAU replacement shares the exact bore, stroke, 982N force, 1/4" port, and SC-series mounting.
It delivers 982N push and 825N pull at 0.5 MPa, 1374N push at 0.7 MPa, and a 200kgf max at 1.0MPa. The -S magnet on this legacy model worked with CS1-B/DS1-B switches; the SAU replacement requires the current CMSG/DMSG/EMSG sensor family.
